Alan Lister has taken out his first ABT tournament title, smashing the competition in Albany with a 10/10 limit weighing in at 6.28kg. Lister, from the ACT, credited local advice (along with his own skills) for helping him secure the win for the Power-Pole sponsored round of the Costa BREAM Series.
WA expat, Charlie Saykao was quickly back at home on his old fishing ground and finished the event in second place with a 10/10 limit for 3.48kg.
NSW’s Stuart Walker added to his 2019 trophy collection taking out the event in the non-boater division. His 10/10 limit for 5.3kg was the envy of all boaters (except Al Lister) in the field.
WA local, Michael Sammut had generously lent his boat to one of the visiting East-Coast boaters, choosing to enter the event as a non-boater instead. His 9/10 bream for 3.81kg put him in second place proving once again in ABT – who shares wins!
The WA road trip continues with anglers heading to the Augusta for the fifth stop on the 2019 Costa Bream Tour – the Okuma Blackwood River Qualifier.
